I have really gotten into the whole 80s/boyfriend jacket trend. I stole one of mum’s blazers and had it tailored. I removed the shoulder pads and had the sleeves cinched.

The Before:

I also had an awesome Moschino pencil skirt, it was my absolute favourite and I wore it to work as often as I could. I wore the skirt so often that, after many times at the cleaners, it started fading at the hem. I decided to have the skirt shortened and keep it as a night-out mini.

For the outfit I added a simple tee, tons of mismatched jewelry and high heels (of course). Total Cost of tailoring: $20. Brand new outfit!

And After:

Do forgive the big frizzy hair: 1. I live in Texas and big hair is a prerequisite for a night out and 2. it is so humid that as I’m typing this my panties are still soaked.

Glass of Champers Evening aka Friday night. I was exhausted and had slept for only 7 hrs in the past 2 days, but still felt like finally going out. Loads of concealer and accessories to distract from my dark circles. Please note the pretty shiny hair, thanks to vitamins. Yay! Also, the Habanero plants are getting so big (that’s what she said)!!! Finally spotted two little habaneros, can’t wait to try them. I mention it because the plants are always in the pics Ipost.

What I’m wearing:

Sheer gray top – UO

Black Pants – Fendi

Black Shoes – Prada

Swarovski Crystal ring – Macy’s

Black Bodysuit – American Apparel

My hair and makeup for the evening. IGNORE THE TIRED FACE! I SAID IGNORE IT!! But I felt I had a great hair day.

I always tell people how I’m glad that I’m fluent in French, but when I finally run into Parisians and I try to talk to them they don’t understand a word I said. Brag-adocious Fail. That’s how an evening should end.

Headed to Red Room for a glass of champagne. I want to check it out since it is so close to my home, I hope that the rumors of the place aren’t true. Everyone says its is great bar with great decor but with a super pretentious older crowd.

Showing up rather early for a Friday (around 9ish) since I would like to avoid the plastic surgery crowd and would like to find a table for myself.

Wanted to wear something structured but not stuffy so I added the hot pink lace bodysuit. It seems to work, for after work 😉
